Latin-1 chars not recognized for default french flyspell dict

[Stefan Monnier]

Symptoms:

On the machines here, the default ispell dictionary is French.
This confuses flyspell as the example below shows:

   % emacs -q ~/tmp/foo.txt
   M-x flyspell-mode RET
   chocolat
   chocolate
   problème

the first word is accepted as correct while the second is highlighted
as a typo (this is just to show that it's indeed using the French
dictionary), but the third also gets highlighted, tho in a messed up
way: only the "probl" part gets highlighted, because flyspell
obviously didn't consider the accented char as being part of the word.

If I explicitly do M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET francais RET,
things work just fine (the third word is accepted as correct).
